Letting Loose

According to the KONOS lady at the homeschool convention, I'm one of "those mom's". What she meant was, I'm boring and uncreative. Well, it's kind of true - although, I bet if she knew I was a snake handler, she'd change her tune.

But I digress!

What was my point? Oh, yes! Tonight the kids were playing in the front yard with this sprinkler ball that my mom gave them. You hook up a hose and water sprays in all directions out of the ball. The kids were jumping over and running under the long streams of water shooting out of it. I was sitting there watching them and thinking, "I should just run over there and jump in with them." I often think these kinds of things but usually don't act on them.

Tonight I did. Fully clothed, I ran into the line-up of children running in a circle around this ball. If they didn't have such young, strong hearts, they may have had heart attacks.

But it was so fun! And I knew I scored major brownie points.
